Grove of Narberth

The Grove is a magical place. Very comfortable and well decorated. Exceptional service and friendly staff. ||Outstanding food at the Fernery and also in the Artisan. Even the breakfasts were delicious - loved the smoked haddock omelette - that was cooked to perfection. There were so many nice touches! Thank you for making my mum's birthday so special.

This was our third time staying in Grove Narberth, and have previously reviewed the Grove as 5/5. Our garden suite was lovely and clean, as expected. We appreciated the small practical thoughtfulness around the provision of things like a heater and fan in our room, a coat rack with an umbrella, fresh milk and lots of English breakfast tea and complimentary mini bar.||The reason we continue to return to Grove is the service. The service was still very good, but the finer details we have enjoyed in the past weren’t quite there, such as greeting us at the door for a quick and polished checkin experience. The bed was also disappointing. While the linen was soft, the mattress was significantly depressed on one side, so much so that when trying to sleep there, I could feel the springs. For that reason I had to sleep in the center of the bed where it was less worn. Previously they have also proactively offered to cater for our dietary requirements which they were not able to do this time.||That aside, we were still able to to choose from the good variety of dishes on offer and the food was absolutely delicious as we have come to expect from the Grove, and for that reason, something we always look forward to. We dined at Artisan on both nights as we prefer a more casual approach to dinner. Breakfast on both mornings was also good. We liked the small attention to detail such as making sure the butter was readily spreadable, hot drinks were actually hot, and warm toast with jams provided. We cannot fault the food at all. ||Importantly, overall we enjoyed our stay and do plan to return. We hope the service is back to its high initial levels and hasn’t slipped further to put us off once and for all, especially given the increased prices as of late.

The whole experience was lovely. Staff were young but wonderfully competent and pleasant. The house was beautifully furnished and decorated. Lovely grounds and delicious food. Most important we were made to feel we belonged there. Not once did i feel awkward or a nuisance. Many thanks to them all.

This place is a hidden gem. The attention to detail with the staff, the food and the rooms are outstanding. We have stayed in many hotels around the world, but the Grove exceeds them all. We will definitely be back. It was our 20th wedding anniversary and we thought we would try and squeeze a night away and the staff completely spoilt us, it’s an anniversary we will remember. Many thanks again to all the staff.

Hospitality is a skill that is hard to get right. Most hotels tick some of the boxes. The Grove ticks them all and then some. The building, the grounds, the rooms, the food and the staff are all of the highest standard, meaning that as a guest you get the most lovely experience. I'm quite sure a huge amount of work has led to this exquisite formula and the magic is in the effortless, unfussy but totally thoughtful delivery. They just understand what's required and do it. It sounds obvious but they see things from the guest's perspective. The result is a relaxing stay where you feel everyone is quietly in the background making sure you have the most enjoyable rest.

What a wonderful venue! Superb staff and service and sublime food! We came here for a special occasion afternoon tea, our beautiful friends birthday. We have complex dietary requirements but the fabulous staff here made us feel immensely safe and secure in their hands. They described each item in detail at the table. Beautiful presentation, fabulous service, luxurious surroundings. Would thoroughly recommend ❣️

One of the best hotels we ever stayed at. Tastefully decorated, with an impeccable service (attention to every detail to maximize your experience and comfort), and includes a delicious michelin deserving restaurant. It passed with flying colours the bed, shower, and wifi test. Breakfast was rich and tasty, and the hotel is also close to a lot of beautiful spots. We are certainly returning and bringing the whole family next time.

Although we arrived in rain, the interior was most welcoming with every requirement in our luxurious room. We managed a walk through the magnificent walled garden with a whole variety of vegetables using umbrellas supplied by our hosts, we enjoyed a quality meal in the evening.
